Black angel,
black angel
As you grow up
I want you to drink
From the plenty cup
My little black angel
My little black angel
as years roll by
I want you to fly
with wings held high
I want you to live
by the justice code
I want you to burn down
freedom's road
My little black angel
Oh lie away,
oh lie away asleeping
Lie away safe in my arms
Your father,
your future
protects you
And locks you safe
from all harm
Little black angel
I feel so glad
You'll never have things
I never had
When out of men's hearts
all hate has gone
It's better to die
than forever live on
My little black angel.
